[Chorus: Swel]   You can't kill the wise   We gon be here in your children's eyes   And your children's children's children's eyes   We was built to rise and we will survive   [Verse One: Swel Boogie]   Who's gettin sh*tted on?   Who's gettin sh*tted on?   Who's the next motherf**ker to get sh*tted on?   'Cause if that nigga is me, then we gon get it on   Don't even smile in my face if we don't get along   Yeah that's right, I sound foul (so?)   And maybe even sound bocus, but focus   just notice that I know how it feels to be hopeless   and homeless   But it ain't about hard times   Everybody goes through a struggle that makes ya mind craze   and you thinkin who's above you   but I get up, I don't stay down   I got lot of sh*t to climb, get with the time   You sh*t on me? That's fine   I'm at the finish line, now you behind   We in the race and I'm droppin your horse   Everything down my road is an obsticle course   And one by one I see 'em go down   and I'm sweatin to win   Who's goin get the gold   I see the fool is bettin, it's him   So now we're toe-to-toe, eye-to-eye   Will you survive?   My crew will strive, we clever why   We never die   It's true we rise   (Chorus 2x)   [Verse Two: Jise One]   We stranded on jungles of concrete   Primal fear scuffing my feet   where paper scuffle spear head pens   And rhymes is good to eat   Where two species of snake meet ground   Pound instinct, swamp walkin a leech   a street parasite wedging my soul to heat   Machetero, puro latino   hybrid with hyena   Laugh it off scraping the blood sucka off   Racing a cheetah   key to the world   I walk, I talk in my step   Guerilla suited and fitted who chalk reps   sh*tted with hearts knitted   My tribes kept and never slept   Night watch changing my shift   Just in case of deadly concepts   possess a myth that I could sniff   my prev's shadow in my perimeter   Sinister sounds at night   So I hibernate in the winter   (Chorus 2x)   [Verse Three: Q-Unique]   I stand evenly against all odds   Now at a war with gods   so from the heavens came triggered bullets to dodge   Struggle to survive   It's never ending   My eyes locked on the bonus plan   Though adversity keeps it pending   Food, shelter, riches, hopes, dreams, wishes   But life could be like a mixer   sometimes the fader switches   Watchin as time passes to the last sand granular   Put on to run the streets without a survival manual   I move day to day, unaware but well prepared   digest the proper rations and framed lenses   to help my stare   exists 'cause I'm one step ahead   Never get ahead of myself   'cause one too many steps could be   one step ya dead   I've played many times with the chess master   Lost some of my pawns and sent my knights into shear   and great disaster   I stratagize and move through life's highway   At the end smile with a Sinatra's sureness   'cause I know I did it +my way+   (Chorus 2x)   [DJ Spin One cuts up]   "it's soul survivor"
